What its doing right now is, its not playing any DVD, its reading them, and lets say the movie "Ted" is in there. It will say "CD Drive (D:) TED". It wont auto play the movie, when i click on the driver it puts the movie Ted in a file format "Video_TS", when i open it there is allot of files "VTS_01_0" and so on by numbers. Even used a friends external CD drive and it was doing the same thing. just want to watch my movies lol

It says my drivers are up to date, i updated my bios for my motherboard and just cant seem to get things working. Ill post my components down below if that helps.

DVD-video always consists of a Video_TS folder containing VOB, IFO and BUP files. That is the structure of the format. The .vob files contain the audio, video and subtitle streams. The .ifo files are navigational information and the .bup files are backups for the .ifo files.

To play a DVD with VLC, put the disc in your drive, start VLC, then click Media at the top left of the main window of VLC. Then choose Open Disc. The DVD should show up in the optical drive line within VLC and then you hit Play.

Thank you kerry56 its nice to get a answer on this, iv been looking everywhere. Thanks i had VLC but guess wasnt opening it properly. Got it to start up although it took a bit to start. If i may ask why did it start doing this. My CD drive was working fine for awhile but after a few months it just stopped working and started doing this.

Thanks learning new things here, and just checked my auto play and its still not doing anything, configured what it should play under, even reset everything to default. Glad i can get them to run my DVDs that way now but seems really weird
